“I was a student studying graphic design at the University of Cincinnati when I first went to the Jockey Club. Unlike many of its denizens, I was actually old enough to legally get in and drink the cheap beer. Despite Cincinnati’s conservative reputation, the city had a surprisingly vibrant music scene, which was largely thanks to the Jockey Club just across the Ohio River in Newport, Kentucky.” – Kelli Evans, author of “It’s a Freak Show, Ace! Punk Flyer Art from the Legendary Jockey Club 1982–1988”
